Discuss the SSG 2011 Fans' Choice Poll results here, now!

Well, the day has come, thanks to everybody's votes, we have created our master list and sent in into Hasbro so it can be mashed together with results from other fan sites. You already know our top 10, but below is the entire list in order.

Out of 42 voters, the top voted only received exactly 1/3rd of our voters' support, and it went downhill from there very rapidly. It turns out we fans can't agree on ANYTHING!

Thankfully, our top 10 didn't have any ties. Had there been a tie, I had set it up so the highest number of voters would have won the slot (hence: "fans' choice", not "fan's choice" ).

As you can see, while Cliegg Lars had more votes and more voters voting for him, it was Nute Gunray (ROTS) who had the most passionate voters, with a significantly higher vote average than any character with more than 2 votes.

So, what do you think of the fans' voting choices, far out, just right, or somewhere in between? What is there to argue about, Star Wars collecting fans?

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

"In Brooklyn, a castle, is where dwell I"

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Overall I think our top 10 has many good choices, several of which were already on the 2009 poll as finalists. There's a pretty good mix of sources - 1 from TPM, 2 from AOTC, 1 from ROTS, 1 from ESB alone, 2 from ROTJ alone, 1 from both ESB and ROTJ, 1 from Shadows of the Empire, and 1 from Heir to the Empire. None from ANH, I suppose that's a little surprising. Thankfully our EU choices weren't obscure nobodies or boring-looking choices. I'm quite happy with the results.

Not bad! Two of my ten made the cut (Sim Aloo and Piett), yet Jaxxon continues to elude figuredom (shakes fist in anger). I really think we need a Sim Aloo fig, primarily because he's one the last, if not the last, remaining figures from the Vintage Kenner line that hasn't been made. I didn't know at the time of my listing that figures were ranked in importance from first to last. I basically started with SW, worked my way through ROTJ, and then rounded it off with EU. Had I known, I would have put Jaxxon first. Oh well. Either way, it's a nice spread across the movies and EU.

Well, Sgt. Doallyn and the vintage Nikto would be definite buys for me, so I must admit that I like the other sites' lists better.

There are 2 or 3 that I would buy from our top 10 however. Cane Adiss being the one that I'd be most excited about.

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence… When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis

Only one of my choices made the top 10 (Sim Aloo), but I'm happy to see Cliegg come out on top, as he's definitely a character I would like to see in plastic, he just doesn't quite make my own top 10. (Tbh, I'm just really happy Jocasta Nu didn't win.) I also like Neimoidians, and whilst I'm not an EU collector, I think the Noghri would make for an interesting figure, which I would probably buy.

Big thanks to DarkJedi5, TheRealDubya, obi-dad, morpheus282, Tycho and Kidhuman for great deals/trades.
